President Obama loves pie. He loves pie so much that the ridiculous amounts of pie he ate during his first term may be the culprit of his high cholesterol.
In fact, Obama loves White House pastry chef Bill Yosses‘ pies so much, he thinks there’s crack in them. How else do you explain such an addiction to pie?
Yes, all of this really happened during a Monday event to celebrate LGBT Pride Month. While praising Yosses, also known by the president as “The Crustmaster,” Obama blurted out what he reasons is the cause of such delicious eats.
“I don’t know what he does — whether he puts crack in them, or …,” Obama said as the crowd chuckled.
But First Lady Michelle Obama cleaned up that wisecrack immediately:
“No he doesn’t. … There is no crack in our pies,” she said.
Obama, still stuck in pie bliss, went on about his pie affinity, telling the crowd that the pastries are probably what led to his high cholesterol that first year in the White House.
“My cholesterol shot up,” Obama said. “And the doctor was like, what happened?”
He added: “And I thought, it’s the pie! It’s the pie! So we had to establish like a really firm rule about no pie during the week.”
Sounds to us like Obama has the pie shakes pretty bad. And we’re not blaming him. Pie is freaking delicious.
Watch the awkward drug-pie moment above.
